It is considered that this contract can be awarded under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because the direct award justification specified in paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 applies, in that, RTX Corporation – Pratt & Whitney Division, previously Hamilton Sunstrand, are the Titan APU Type T-62T-2B and T-62-40C7EH Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and appointed Design Organisation (DO). RTX Corporation – Pratt & Whitney Division hold the relevant technical skills, engineering know-how, tools, Type T-62T-2B and T-62-40C7EH technical data, drawing and design information, are the only supplier capable of meeting the Authority’s requirement and there are no reasonable alternatives.
